Being must be felt. It can't be thought. - Eckhart Tolle

Suffering has a noble purpose: the evolution of the consciousness and the burning up of the ego.

You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you, and allowing that goodness to emerge.

There is an aliveness in you that you can feel with your Being, not just in the head. Every cell is alive in that presence in which you don't need to think. Yet, in that state, if thought is required for some practical purpose, it is there. The mind can still operate, and it operated beautifully when the greater intelligence that you are uses it and expresses itself through it. (Ch 2)
